The Woman’s Club of Claremont learned about new refugee families from Afghanistan being resettled in Claremont at its October lunch meeting. Anne Thorward, a board member from nonprofit Newcomer’s Access Center (NAC), spoke to about 40 members, sharing the news that NAC has moved its office to the campus at the Claremont School of Theology (CST) and that CST is offering temporary housing to newly arriving refugees. These refugee families will live at apartments at the school until they can establish more permanent housing. Thorward described how NAC helps refugees when they first arrive to connect with needed services and continues to help them as they integrate into society. The club presented a $300 check to NAC and many members also asked how they could donate or volunteer.
